Against Mailing Letters on the Cars.

The papers are publishing an item that
the Postmaster General has issued an order
delaying letters mailed on cars. A gentle :
man of this city who frequently mails letters
in this way did not believe that such an or
der had been issued, and therefore consulted
the postal laws and regulations and on page
291 found the mandate. 1t prohibits railroad
postal clerks from canceling stamps. Let
ters mailed on the trains will be put on at
the next postoffce to be cancelled by the post
master, which will consequently delay su ch
letters one day. The order took effect on the
18th day of September, and was made in the
interest of that class of postmasters who de-
pend on canceling stamps for their salari es.
This is good for the officers but is not in tn e
interest of the public, besides it is inconsist-
ent with the equipment of postal cars. On
each car is letter-box, put there to receiv
letters, not to be carried to their destinatlo n,
it seems, but to be turned over to some post
master to be Cancelled, " under this decision.

How To Run q Town.

Here is recipe for running town that
contains good ingredients, and after prop :
er compounding of them with liberal ap :
plication, ought to be productive of the most
beneficial results: either run you town
with vim or sell out and leave it. Men who
are trying to get out of business will never
do much to build up a town. One of two
things must be done--run the thing for all it
is worth, get up steam and keep it up, or quit
the whole thing, slide out and letnature tax
its course. If you want prosperous town
where people can come who are disposed to
make homes, then do away with and bury
from sight all jealousy and spite. Work no
more for few individuals, but all work to-
gether for a common prosperity and mutua
benefit. Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up
your sleeves and go to work. Don't work
with fear and trembling, but take it for
granted that blood will tell. Leave results
to themselves; borrow no trouble, but all
unite to make it the biggest kind of town. y
Go to work.
